I have a 5.1 living room and 2 pre-wire connections for outdoor speakers on a cover patio. Do you think that this can work fine???

Sure, 5.1 + 2.0 = 7.1, so the math works out fine. My install of the unit looks neat and clean. Good luck with yours. Thanks, JO

Yes. Its a 7.1 plate so just use the "rear" connections for the outdoor speakers and the rest for 5.1

I dont see why not but I'm not sure if you will get the sound quality inside with 2 missing speakers. Also the outside ones may not have a full range of sound. For instance, no bass.

I use mine to power a pair of Bose outdoor speakers on my patio. I think that they have good sound & plenty of volume. I use my ipod as the source of music with Bluetooth. The remote has various settings for various types of music i.e. rock & roll, R & B, jazz etc. which I find seems to help the sound. Hope you find this somewhat helpful. I needed a small Bluetooth capable amp for my patio speakers and I wouldn't trade this one.

I wouldn't bet on it, although I haven't tried it. They do okay with speaker wire, but it seems that coax might be too thick n heavy.

You will need to purchase speaker wire. I used direct bury speaker wire, since my speakers are exposed to the weather.

I ran the Aux to RCA wire to the central hub for my ceiling speakers and then ran the RCA to Aux from the Logitech to my JBL Bluetooth speakers so I can just send the signal directly to the Logitech to power all the speakers, including the JBL with subwoofer. No lag at all and it sounds amazing throughout the whole house. I'm sure you could somehow connect your outdoor speakers that way.

I was able to change the impedance on my receiver to 6 ohm. They sound great on my back patio!!

It depends on how far apart you will be placing the speakers. Ideally you'll want to use two separate #14 awg speaker cables one from each speaker as a left and right set-up going to the connect:amp. It wouldn't hurt to bump that wire size up to # 12 if your running longer distance. Think voltage drop

Jeanine, I have a 5.1 system (4 polk RC85i speakers (two on each side), once center speaker and the subwofer). My place is similar to yours. In my opinion your distribution could work very well...

I have a Yamaha reciever and had a pos/neg 2 wire setup and no problems. As long as you have center channel setup.

I have these under my back patio overhang in Oklahoma City. With frequent severe weather (hail, thunderstorms, high winds, etc...), I used a self-fusing silicon tape to cover the terminals. This has worked extremely well. As long as your receiver can push these speakers, you should have no worries.

There are two places for each set (right and left), so it would work fine on the outdoor speakers, but not the 5 speakers inside. Assuming this is a surround sound system like mine, I hooked up the center and two back speakers directly to the surround sound receiver, ran wire from the front two to this thing, and then ran wire from the A side to the surround sound speakers, and the B side to two standing speakers I use for listening to music. The 3 speakers hooked up to the receiver always play, but I can switch between the surround sound speakers for movies and the big speakers for music. I hope this helps!

Hi Adam, Thanks for the question about the Wireless Outdoor Speakers. Paul pretty well covers it. I would just add the speaker wire connections on the back of the speakers can use a banana plug or screws to pinch the wire into place. Contact AV-Express for more information.

I would not recommend if your home theater is a true 5.1 or above home theater system. This will work with 8 ohm speakers (typical for home) but really ideal for just 2 speaker stereo system

I would expect that if your speakers are more than 4 ohms when connected you'll be fine. It really doesn't matter what your speakers are rated only their impedance usually 4 to 8 ohms.

the advice I found, and only after trying it with Bi-wired with my receiver, was unless you actually have two amps to power the speaker, wire it with the bridge in place via the single channel. You won't notice enough change with it bi-wired, and you only end up losing a pair of channels that you could otherwise use for rear surround or a second zone.

Sure. It should work fine using the existing speaker locations except for the tweeters, but you can put those just about anywhere that the wires will reach.

Well I have it pushing four 6.5 component speakers which is four tweeters and four mid range woofers and two 6x9s and it still seems like it has power to spare. I wired the back two doors with the 6x9s making the ohm rating 2. All of my speakers have 4 ohm ratings. That's the important part. This amp can be wired down to two ohms. Basically if you put two 4 ohm speakers on one channel it becomes 2 ohms. I would say you wont have a problem with this thing. I would say wire the 3.5 and tweeters with your front 2 doors and wire the rear doors with the 6x9s. That is basically my setup minus the 3.5
